秋天往前拨，春天往回调 作者：卡伦·莫克勒 绘者：尼古拉斯·杰克逊 焦点问题 关于夏令时，诺拉学到了什么？

It was the first Friday in November. Daylight saving time ended that Sunday. The fall parade was Sunday, too. Remember to set your clocks back an hour on Saturday night, said Nola's teacher. Spring forward, fall back, he added.

那是十一月的第一个星期五 夏令时就在那个周日结束 秋季游行也在周日举办 “记得周六晚上把时钟往回拨一小时哦。”诺拉的老师说 “春往前，秋往后。”他补充道

Nola didn't pay much attention. She was always late for everything anyway. She figured she always would be.

诺拉没太往心里去 反正她不管做什么都总是迟到 她觉得自己这辈子都改不了啦

At dinner, though, she asked her mom if they could go to the parade. I won't be here Sunday, but I'll bet Pablo could take you, Mom said. Nola looked at Pablo, her sleepy big brother. He nodded and yawned.

不过吃晚饭的时候，她问妈妈能不能去看游行 “周日我不在家，不过巴勃罗肯定能带你去呀。”妈妈说 诺拉看向巴勃罗，她那总睡不醒的哥哥。 他点了点头，打了个哈欠

Saturday morning, their mom drove to the airport. Saturday night, Nola thought back to her teacher's words. Spring forward, fall back. Or was it fall forward, spring back?

周六早上，他们的妈妈开车去了机场 周六晚上，诺拉回想起老师说的话 春往前，秋往后 还是说秋天往前，春天往后呀？

Fall forward sounded better, so she set her clock forward an hour. Just like that, it was past her bedtime. She was late again. Time is not my friend, Nola sighed.

秋天往前拨听起来更对， 所以她把时钟往前拨了一小时 这么一调，就过了她的睡觉时间啦。 她又迟到了。 “时间跟我作对。”诺拉叹了口气
